Adapting the tree growth model MOSES to manage uneven-aged mixed species forests in Bosnia & Herzegovina Open
In Bosnia & Herzegovina, uneven-aged Plenter forest is the dominating forest management system and applied to 90% of the high forest area. This differs from most other European countries, where even-aged forest management is dominating. Ho…
